Hacking exposed linux

In the context of what Jamie.R has asked for, this is a good resource for securing Linux from an Administrator's perspective.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hacking-Exposed-Linux-Security-Solutions/dp/0072262575
However, from the reviews in the above link, those more interested in a hackers perspective would probably find the second edition more useful.
A good free resource is the Debian Administrator's handbook:

If you really want to dig deep into Windows, you can't go wrong with the Windows Internals Series by Mark Russinovich:

The single most useful book I had when learning to be a Linux system admin (Unix admin too) was the second edition of this book:

For Linux, I like this one:
Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible, Second Edition [Paperback] by Richard Blum & Christine Bresnahan
